Significant Life Experiences that have led you to Our Savior Lutheran School: After graduating from Crown College in December 1994 I worried I would never find the right job for me. After being a substitute teacher in the public school system for two years, God called me to work in the Extended Care program here at Our Savior’s. After several years of enjoying my job, I was able begin my true passion, teaching Physical Education. Now after 12 years at Our Savior Lutheran School, I have many different tasks. I enjoy all of them and truly feel God called me to the “right job” 12 years ago.
